Comments on Yankees Since June 28th & Before May 22nd

I’m not ready to concede the past couple of weeks as predictive of a disastrous finish to this season. But if the worst does come to pass then I see the turning point, and revealing moment of the team’s makeup, as the recent series against BOS. The two games we lost said a lot about both teams: good for them, bad for us.

In both games NYY battle valiantly to come back and tie the game in bottom of 8th. In both games we went on to lose. Our bullpen spit the bit and batters couldn’t get big hits when it counted. BOS showed a grit and desire to win that just is not there for NY. So many games this year remind me of game 5 vs DET last year.

I hope I’m wrong. But even as those two games were being played, these thoughts came to mind.

If the Yankees do choke this up, Cashman will say it was because of injuries and that it was not because of anything that he did or did not do…

And, Levine and Trost will back him up – most of the fans too.

That’s the real crime in this…that no one will realize that the team was old, and that’s on the GM, and that the replacement parts were not there, and that’s also on the GM. But, our GM is made of Teflon…
